A note to phone “sync” app developers

by TheGiant on November 18, 2011

If your app, does not send information in two or more directions, as in, it only downloads some information. Then it is NOT a sync app, it is an IMPORT app. , please learn the English language. Merely downloading some information from Facebook for a preexisting contact, or downloading a complete contact, this is called importing. The word sync is short for synchronize, which means to make two or more things match exactly. That is not what most of the “sync” apps on the iTunes app store do. Please do not use the word sync, unless that’s what it actually does, otherwise it is false advertising in your app name. Ok? It’s really THAT simple.

I hear ya! People can be so dumb. Sometimes I think they just call those apps whatever they want, and hope nobody will call them out. It takes people speaking up (like you) to make things happen

I just get tired of it, at the very least, they could be better about explaining in the description that it is only one way. I’ve also had several of those apps actually corrupt my contacts too. I just had to restore from a backup and try to resync to my Gmail. Very annoying.
